Re: Kite pump ideas collection

Could you use a fan (turbine) to pump up to 1 atm then switch to high pressure pump?
Like the SR71 Blackbird engines - 2 engines in 1 housing... :naughty:

Re: Professional sewer for my harness near London

I tried shoe repairmen for my harness in the past, they never has strong enough thread so their repairs always failed after a few sessions. personally I switched to using stainless steel rivets that I apply myself with a rivet base and a hammer - fast, easy, cheap and ultra strong. I also use a hand...

Re: Best lines you have / ever used / know of

others know a lot more about lines than me. but my experience: * Q power doesnt work with all safetly due to non-splice . * i can say that sk99 frays much faster if you cross lines a lot, but it is less spongy feeling.

Re: Wetsuit selection

Best wetsuits I used over the years were made by local wetsuit makers. Typically 30% cheaper than branded ones, custom made to my body and last at least twice as long. You may google to find a maker near you!

Re: Where can I find the bridle dimensions for 2021 North Reach 9m?

I have Q-power 500kg and DC Pro 401... that's what I have laying around. The original Reach bridles are unsheeted, gray color dyneema looks like Teufelberger line with a couple of black nylon stiffening lines running thru it. The Carve 2021 (or 2020? I forget) lines are awesome - looks like kevlar (...

Where can I find the bridle dimensions for 2021 North Reach 9m?

I'm redoing my bridles with Liros DC Pro 401 and in the off chance that they may have shrunk/stretched I'd like to measure against the original bridle diagram; but I can't find it in North website or google. Would anyone have it?

Replacement kite bridle: Liros DC401 or 201?

Today I snapped my 9m North Reach 2022 bridle: I launched with a tangle in my bridle, kite flew OK although in retrospect the tangled tip was a bit deformed, after ~2 hours the front bridle snapped - swim in. It was my fault should have checked the bridles before launching. I have Liros DC pro 401, ...
